Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck ANNE SOPHIE is located at the geographic coordinates 37 5 N, 9 0 W, situated off the coast of Portugal north of Cape St Vincent. This underwater wreck site was recorded after the vessel sank in 1974. Following subsequent hydrographic reviews in 1994 and 2007, the wreck is not shown on official Portuguese maritime or fisheries charts due to the original position being considered too vague for accurate charting. While the structural condition of the wreck including details such as steel plating or hull integrity is not confirmed, it remains archived for informational purposes. This maritime obstruction serves as a point of interest for historical records near the Portuguese Atlantic coastline.
